For those that know me, you're aware that I'm currently unemployed. I've been puttering around my Dad's storage shed (my Dad sells used books) and I came across a box. It could have been filled with another set of French encyclopedias - BUT NO. It was filled with something much better.

TURN OF THE CENTURY CHILDREN'S LITERATURE. Most of it is in rough shape but these are still amazing little bits of history. There are many qualities to these old books that I think we should bring back to current children's literature.

1: PIRATE KITTENS

2. VIOLENCE

Yes. You read it. Bunny on his way to execution. That holy cow better get to praying.

3. POLITICS POLITICS POLITICS. I was blown away by this little piece of paper I found in a decimated copy of Grimm's Fairytales. Hmm....pigs? Wait....let me fold this right here......
